Empower Yourself!
"You should not be afraid of someone who has a library and reads many books; you should fear someone who has only one book; and he considers it sacred, but he has never read it."
~Friederich Nietzsche
Why are there groups of people who want to ban books? In fact, there are some places where books have already been banned. Books that I've read and loved. Books for which there is no logical explanation as to why they should be banned.
The truth of the matter is that those groups who want books banned, want to keep you ignorant so they can retain all the control.
As long as you don't know what's going on; as long as you rely on someone else to tell you their truth is the only truth, you are enslaved.
Someone who tells you they have all the answers, is someone who is manipulating you; who wants you to feel powerless so they can have power over you.
Read, research, learn. Become knowledgable.
Don't give your power away by remaining ignorant.
